We started out at 8 AM at a parking lot near the Merry-Go-Round. Then we went up of small use trail to Beacon Hill. The trail was very steep and rocky. The view from Beacon Hill is just okay. We saw a coyote on the summit. Then we went to Joe Klass Water stop. We saw a water tank and some great views of Los Angeles. Then we went around Glendale Peak on the Hogback Trail and then summited Glendale Peak via the Henry's Trail, the summit had great views and a benchmark. Then we went down the Riverside trail for a challenge and then climbed up a steep hill and a use trail that was loose and then went to the top of Hogback Peak (Bird Bath Peak), and it has great views fro it. Then went over to Mt Hollywood and then summited it. The summit was popular and had a summit plaque, and info signs and a benchmark. Then descended the summit to summit Taco Peak, Mt Baby Bell, and Mt Bell. Taco Peak had a concrete thing on top, Mt Bell has great views and benchmark, Mt Baby Bell was disappointing, and then we climbed up to Mt Chapel. The summit of Mt Chapel had great views and a benchmark. Then we climbed over to Mt Lee and then saw the Hollywood sign. Then we climbed down to summit Burbank and Cahuenga Peak. In between, we visited a benchmark along the trail, found a small overlook with plaques, and scrambled up to Cahuenga Peak. The summit of Cahuenga Peak has 4 benchmarks and the best views/most unique views of the hike. Then we went to Burbank Peak and it has the Wisdom Tree and the last benchmark of the hike. Also there was a flag at the summit and a Christmas Tree. Then we went back to the junction for the trail up to Mt Chapel and then wen went down to Bee Rock, the we descended the bee rock trail. Bee Rock's view was disappointing though. The ruins of the Old Zoo is cool though!
10 mile hike, very eventful as you could see!
